Non-U.S. Passport Guidelines
In general, when an applicant applies for a visa, they must have in their possession a current passport that is valid for at least 6 months after they are to return from the U.S. Additionally, there should be enough blank pages in the passport to affix a visa if the visa is granted. Passports should be in good condition and should not be damaged, mutilated, defaced or have missing or ripped pages.
Stolen/Lost Passports
If your passport was stolen or lost and it contained a valid U.S. visa, before you make an appointment to have the visa replaced you must contact the U.S. Embassy to file a stolen/missing passport report. Additionally, you should file a police report with local JCF authorities that will be used by Embassy personnel to process your case. Fees for new visas are $100 USD. For more information, contact (876) 702-6045, Monday through Friday between 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., or send an e-mail to KingstonFPU@state.gov.
